Can children with epilepsy receive the Japanese encephalitis vaccine?

Children with epilepsy can generally receive the Japanese encephalitis and hepatitis B vaccines; however, the hepatitis B vaccine should only be administered when the child’s epilepsy is well-controlled. Children diagnosed with epilepsy must take their prescribed medications regularly and must not adjust the dosage—either increasing or decreasing it—without medical supervision, as this may trigger seizures. Additionally, maintaining a calm and relaxed mindset in daily life is essential; avoid causing excessive tension or anxiety in the child.
